Chapter 185 – 8-Beast Flood (15)
“Senia, Mist, Asuna. From now on, I’ll be in charge of this place, so you guys go downstairs. Then search the place and rescue the people!”
“Yeah! If it’s onii-san, then I believe in it… So, make sure to win!”
“No matter what, the master will win, so there is no problem.”
“You’ll take care of it, so I’ll leave it to you.”
After talking like that, they jumped straight down.
This was before an intense battle broke out above.
And not long after they went down, the battle started with a huge explosion.
Kwaaaaang!!!
Powerful forces collided with each other incessantly, creating a huge shockwave as if the heavens and earth were shaking.
Sensing this, the party jumped down even faster, and they felt this and worried about Shine Artel.
“Keuk! It’s a tingling shock. And to be able to use this much power against Artel-sama! It must be… It must be on the same level as the Four Heavenly Kings!”
“Uuuuu! If it’s the Four Heavenly Kings, it’s the monster that attacked your brother’s house then! I’m already worried about you!”
She was Senia, who was worried about monsters that she didn’t have to worry about at all, and Asuna was the only one who looked the most normal here.
Asuna had a character close to that of a knight, so she was only focusing on the orders given by Shine Artel.
“If there’s a monster you just met here, there must be something important here! Concentrate on finding that something here!”
At the same time as Asuna’s cry, a violent shock wave erupted from the upper floor once more.
The collision with the enormous magic wave created by the clash between Parsi, the most powerful of the demons with the title of the Four Heavenly Kings, and Shine Artel, the strongest among humans, shook the underground.
And feeling this huge shockwave in real time, they made their steps even faster.
She has to join the rest of her colleagues, Russell’s party, and find that something.
Stepping on the damp, damp ground. As they passed through the dark aisle, their expressions became solemn.
In particular, the greater the magical energy felt from above, the greater their spleen.
Shine Artel believes in herself, her comrades, and is dealing with powerful demons from above.
That fact set fire to their hearts.
How long had it been since you ran away with your heart on fire? As her knight, Asuna, who was always on guard in all directions, she felt the structure gradually change.
The ground and walls are turning red as a whole. And something like plants clinging everywhere and beating like hearts. There really was no doubt about it.
And Mist, who is the only one in this place who has the blood of the demons and knows about the demons and the demon world, knew well the identity of the plant clinging to the wall and was astonished because of that.
“This is… The fruit of death!? I never thought they planted something like this!”
“Huh? Do you know anything about this?”
Seeing Mist openly shocked, Asuna asked Mist a question, and Mist nervously swallowed her saliva.
“That plant is a first-class dangerous species that grows in the Pandemonium. It has tremendous reproductive speed and vitality, making it difficult to kill unless it blows up the surrounding area, and emits a hypnotic gas that calms or excites demon beasts all over its body.”
“Hypnotic gas? If so, is that the cause of the overflow of demonic beasts!”
At Mist’s words, Asuna drew her sword as if she had found the cause of the demonic beast overflow.
It was obvious that he thought that if he cut it off, it would return to normal, and if Mist hadn’t stopped him before swinging his sword properly, he would have actually cut it.
“Stop it! The Death Fruit sprays hypnotic gas in all directions when someone attacks it! You never know how the gas will react to a person! And no matter how big and strong the Death Fruit grows, it can’t affect the entire continent. !”
“Oh! Is that so… Then let’s deal with that later.”
At Mist’s words, Asuna put her sword back into the scabbard.
“Asuna-sama, Mist! Rather, I think we’ll have to deal with that guy over there!”
At the place Senia pointed, there was a huge body of armor.
No. It wasn’t just armor, it was a monster.
The red picture engraved on the blue armor had enormous magical power, and the hideous red eyes shining from the eye sockets of the helmet were emotionless.
And the blue sword and shield on both of her arms, and the blue chains wrapped around her arms moved ominously while making a shrill sound.
Seeing such a monster, Asuna immediately drew her sword and slowly descended, and Senia and Mist behind her also made up their minds.
As soon as I stepped down like that, I felt the tremendous coldness. And a strange magic circle that blocks the feeling of the outside hooks! And hit them.
In addition, the cold air was so cold that not only informed the entire basement, but even breathing in made me feel pain as if my lungs would freeze.
People who couldn’t properly control their mana or lacked physical abilities would have had their lungs froze just by breathing here.
However, Mist, Senia, and Asuna were all fine.
Senia’s own ability itself is deeply related to ice and cold, so it’s natural, and Asuna is a genius who has trained as her knight, so she immediately recognized it and protected her lungs, and Mist attached a strange tool to her face Blocked her cold.
In response, the monster that had been watching Asuna and her party for a while finally got up from her seat, raised her sword and placed her shield on her chest.
Then, the red picture engraved on her whole body glowed, and in an instant, all four sides of her were filled with colder and more powerful cold. Senia watched Asuna nervously at this sight.
As Asuna is the strongest person in her current place, Senia showed very little concern while looking at her.
“Asuna-san. If we fight, can we win?”
“We have an obligation to carry out the work that Shine Artel entrusted to us. So we must win… No, we win. Just think about that.”
Senia’s worried question. In response, Asuna exhaled white breath from her mouth and controlled the enormous magic power from her body.
Enormous magical energy oscillated from the body and flowed into the sword, turning the black blue and flashing it sharply so that it could be cut at any time.
Senia also drew her own demonic sword and took her stance, but compared to Asuna, who she had been training for a long time, she was far from lacking, and Mist fell completely behind her.
Her current opponent surpassed Asuna even with the energy she could feel.
Asuna was thoroughly aware of this, and she felt it in real time, but she showed no sign of backing down.
As the atmosphere escalates, the monster and Asuna are about to clash in earnest. The ceiling shattered and someone fell down.
The people who fell through the ceiling were familiar people… They were Russell, Ruri, and Rubel, and Russell quickly kicked the monster in the head as he descended.
At this, Asuna looked at Russell with a surprised expression, and Rubel exclaimed refreshingly as she hugged her brother who was about to fall.
“Good! Joining splendidly succeeded!”
——————————–
When Asuna and the others separated from Artel, Russell and the others were running on one side.
The two wizards, led by Russell, are following the situation. They searched for the Lillitt family’s warehouse, but were desperate to find the inside empty or robbed, and went down to find Artel.
Strangely, the demons didn’t attack anymore, so they were coming down underground relatively easily.
However, when they suddenly felt the huge magic power and Shine Artel’s magic power colliding with that magic power, they rushed down to the basement.
At first, she was going to go to the place where Artel was, but after seeing that her colleagues who were with Artel left Artel and went to another place, she decided to help them first.
Artel is strong and clever.
They probably had the belief that they would win on their own even if they didn’t help.
When the road was blocked, it moved through magic, so the speed was very fast.
After running so fast, they finally reached the top of the last floor, and Russell looked at Rubel and exclaimed urgently.
“Mr. Rubel! Now where do we go from here!”
“Right below! Destroy right below and go down, there are kids!”
Rubel, the great mage, knows the magic of a guide that spreads her magic everywhere and finds a way, so Russell quickly struck down her underground with two swords, just as Rubel said.
The hard structure that made up the floor was shattered in vain by the repeated blows dozens of times per second, and a hole was pierced, and the girls jumped toward the hole.
Then, as they jumped down, what they saw was Asuna, Senia, and Mist and the others confronting the gigantic blue-armored monster.
In this situation, Russell hit the monster’s head as if it were natural, and Rubel lightly landed holding her Lurie and exclaimed exhilaratingly.
However, Rubel got up again and immediately became serious at the sight of the monster radiating cold air.
The monsters currently guarding this place are strong, and only Rubel, Russell, and Asuna can survive a single blow against such a monster. Knowing this well, they stepped forward and raised their magic and fighting spirit.
And once again, using the roar that spread all the way here as a signal to start, they began to attach properly.
